I suppose it could be. It makes me happier to think that something magical is happening.

Hilarious. I didn't get Signal Check Pro, I just have the Lite version. According to the app signal strength was: RSRP: -117dBm (10 asu) RSRQ: -11dB, SNR: 7.2 dB Contrasted with my usual EV-DO signal at around -74 dBm, it was indeed a considerably weaker signal. Nonetheless, it was a pretty consistent signal while I had it. I can't imagine it would be from one of the towers out east, that would have to be too far.

Confirmed LTE Coverage Downtown at 17th & Broadway I have been mapping in Sensorly for 20 minutes, I have collected several speed tests and have 50 confirmed LTE points in and around my building. The data is uploading to Sensorly servers as we speak. This has not been like the last few days where LTE connects and then drops, It is now 11:15 and I have had the connection since 10:45 (at least that's when I noticed it). I have screen shots that I will be uploading to https://app.box.com/s/69kqulyg8z26v82pdmlf I collected several speed tests, average speed inside the building appears to be about 1.5-1.7 Mbps Down and 1.0 Mbps Up. Signal was not super strong, but it was pretty decent. *EDIT*: I dropped 4G around 11:15, as of 11:31 I am back on. *EDIT 2* Sensorly has recorded the points, but you have to zoom in quite a bit to see them. They are there though at the intersection of 17 and Broadway just north of the Capital.

With those speeds you may be connecting to an existing tower further east. While those are huge improvements over Sprint's 3G, when a tower lights up closer to you those speeds will regularly be 2-6 times faster. That has been my experience.

Certainly possible. I'm going to continue to monitor it. I'm at that desk all day every day anyway. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

One more hit at 3:05. So fast I could barely get anything open before I lost the signal. Is it possible that this is reaching me from whatever tower is returning the Colfax and Peoria hit on Sensorly? That would be covering a pretty significant distance if that tower were AT Colfax and Peoria, but I'm on the east side of the building and and it's basically all open on that side of the building from the floor that I'm on.

I don't know about the SID, but I am not on a custom PRL. I update through System Updates every other month or so.

I am near a Sprint store, but I would think much too far for this to be an Airrave, I don't know if Airrave has 4G ability. They are on 16th and Tremont at ground level, I am at 17th and Broadway, 18 stories up. I also doubt that it's an Airrave since it has popped up at the exact same time of day, two days straight. The explanation for the lat/long coordinates not being in my building has more to do with my gps lock when I am inside. I can NEVER get an accurate lock inside my buildling. Frequently on Google Maps and similar apps it puts me 6-10 blocks away from where I actually am. Once I get outside, all is well, but the building greatly affects my reported position.

I will check it out, but inside my building signal strength will be absolutely horrid. I will download it and run it if I get another hit today or any other day.

Alright, so I got a few more hits today. UNFORTUNATELY, Sensorly won't map this, I assume because I am in a building and it doesn't recognize me moving around, even when I get close to a window. I tried to get outside to have gps notice that I was moving around, but I have to go down 18 floors in an elevator, during which time I understandably lost all connections. I ran a speed test, it was nothing wonderful in the grand scheme of things, but when compared to what I usually get in my building it was phenomenal. My average 3G Down/Up/ping are about .15/.075/350 (Mbps), the 4G was .91/.35/115 (Mbps). I forgot to get a screen shot because I was too interested in trying to map with Sensorly. Even though Sensorly wouldn't map, I was able to get coordinates on three separate LTE pings and using itouchmap.com was able to map them. They are actually NOT in the building I work in, but very close. Something very interesting I noted, based on the time that I posted yesterday it would appear that I got the LTE hit at almost the exact same time of day. My post was officially uploaded to S4GRU at 9:33 AM yesterday, that was a few minutes after I noticed my phone was on 4G. You will see in my SS of LTE discovery that my first 4G hit downtown today (ignore the first two coordinates, the last three are downtown) happened at 9:24 am. Maybe they are turning it on for a few moments each day for some testing prior to going live? I don't know, but this is making things even more exciting for us Denver folks and a little less exciting for the guy in CoSprings. This is a link to the images I have as of the moment. I will add more images if I can get them including Sensorly maps/Speedtests and additional screenies of LTE Discovery as they come. https://app.box.com/s/69kqulyg8z26v82pdmlf

lol, it's killing me too! I sit in my office all day and think about how cool 4g would be and I never pick it up! Then out of nowhere, 4G on my phone! I was stoked! And then it went away, not to return for the rest of the day.

Good advice, will do Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have been mapping trips on sensorly like crazy and never get a 4g hit! Unfortunately I haven't seen 4G light up again on my phone since those five minutes this morning, but the phone kept trying to reconnect all day long. Do we know of any confirmed sites under construction downtown?

They must have flipped it on and then right back off. I haven't seen another hit all day (although my phone continually acts like it's switching from 3g to 4g) and have been mapping on Sensorly like crazy to get something with no luck. I will continue to monitor and let the community know if anything more happens.

Don't mind the wall paper of my kids, note the 4g icon. I'm not getting it now, but it was there for about five minutes. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I am getting 4G right now Downtown at 17 & Broadway. I am in a building and have not been able to conduct a speed test yet, and I launched the sensorly app to map it but it's not wanting to get through the building I guess. I will screenshot and upload in a moment.

Can't see that this is "useless" Sure there is more information behind every story, we are simply showing real world results. You won't always find yourself right next to the tower, so we are taking our time to gather SOME data and provide it to the community. I realize this is not a huge contribution, but at least it's something. I for one, have provided several speed tests on this thread and feel that they give folks something to look forward to.

You hit it right on the head, not as fast, but so much better. I can't think of why I would need faster speeds. I've had coverage at my house for over a month and I'm very satisfied. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Here is a speed test from the Brighton tower. Not incredible but certainly better than it was on 3g only. I lost the connection toward the end, but it was definitely 4g for any doubters. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

been going on for weeks for me. Hasn't changed thus far.

Not that concerned about it. If they really don't want to believe that LTE development has started, even sensorly wouldn't convince them. They would make an excuse.

I did this to an employee the other day in the downtown store at 16 and tremont. He stated that no LTE work had begun in the state yet, so I pulled my phone out and showed him a screenshot of my speed tests and said, "so how do you explain this then?" He stared at it for almost a full minute and then says "must have been out of state." I laughed about it for quite a while, Sprint seems to keep a lot of their people very much in the dark on this.

Off contract? Not much hope of something LTE going sub-100 unless you found a used one on ebay but it would probably be risky even so.

Unfortunately, I have noticed that this is common with our device. Turn the Sprint Connections Optimizer off, it causes problems.

Crankshaft is awesome
